Heritage Tours Scotland

For a relatively small country, Scotland holds a lot of heritage waiting for you to discover. But it’s about finding where to start your tour of Scotland. Do the cities, such as Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen hold more relevance for your families backstory, or are the shores of a remote island speaking out to you? Maybe Loch Ness or the Isle of Skye are ones for you to lay your footprints on first. There’s only one way to find out…come with us on a heritage tour around Scotland.  

Our award-winning, small-group tours are quaint in nature, but hold the power to uncover new discoveries about where your ancestors may have originated from. Not only can you walk the lands of family before you, but you can take in the knowledge of this fascinating countries culture. Ready to come onboard with us? 

Walk in Your Ancestors Footprints in Scotland 

There is nothing quite like the day you find out you have Scottish heritage. Whether you bring out the bagpipes, fly the Saltire (St Andrew’s Cross) high, or decide to have a wee bit of haggis for dinner, the best way you can celebrate is by visiting and touring the land which your ancestors once walked. And what a treat you’re in for when you visit. Walking the cobbled streets of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh in search of a souvenir. Lacing your hiking boots in preparation for climbing one of the tallest Scottish mountains, or simply raising a wee dram in your new found clan region. We’re all about bringing people together, and when we can do that while celebrating the rich heritage this country offers, it makes for a pretty special day all round.
